Great now how about a update. Just kidding Chainer! ;) Glad it's up and running again!!!!!! Maybe you should start dumping any pictures that have a rating lower then 5 that been voted on at least 10 times. Somehting along that effect to get rid of dead weight pictures so you don't have problems again. Just a thought.
Not being too familiar with site restrictions (or all the ins-and-outs of "computerese"), I have to say that it was a wonder that the site grew so large with such a huge database of pics stored on it. I know that each pic takes up a certain amount of storage and to have one with over 270 pages of pics was awesome, to say the least. I am just wondering if the same problem won't occur again (i.e.: resource limit), no matter what funding source(s) is used. Doesn't "exceeding bandwidth" also play a role in this?
I'm almost 100% sure I want to keep the old site format, as it makes the site unique from all the other message boards (like girlsbiceps.fempoint.net and the HB forums), and it's also a lot more interactive (i.e., each picture can have comments dedicated solely to itself). The main problem with it is that the code I wrote wasn't terribly well-optimized, because I didn't know how popular the site would grow, and I wasn't sure what the resource limit was.
Right now I'll be working on optimizing some of the site's code in my free time, but the site WILL be back. Hopefully within the next few weeks.
I totally agree with you, Chainer! :) And i also agree with the Google AdSense idea :)

Maybe we should know for sure that a new site is in the works, becuase I think a few would like to start donating but we need assurance that it's going for something. Like the old powergirls site that never came back around, we don't want that to happen here. Kristi
@rutabaga22 i don't like the idea of a forum with pictures.... it's just like THE OTHERS FORUMS.. and believe me, it's much worse!! I just like the SITE as it is now! I really like the PHP-site (non forum) that Chainer did! :)
Frydock - it's a capitalist country, and I need to make a profit. If I make a penny on each of my thoughts, I ought to be able to buy a private island in a few years and stop paying income taxes to our newly gigantic Federal government. Ummm, maybe not.
I did like the current format that Chainer had going, it was fun and easy to navigate. I had donated before and would again if money is the issue. I enjoy the community of people that are here and I hope we can get the site back in any form or fashion. I'll help anyway I can also, happy flexing. Kristi
Why don't you consider making the whole website a PHP-based forum? It will either be free or close to free. Then you can load all the pictures from the old website onto various pages of the forum and readers can add their own comments, pictures, etc. as they feel like. As forum moderator you can take down inappropriate posts. This not only reduces your costs but makes the website much more interactive and conversational, like messages.herbiceps.com. Just my 2 cents, Larry
I would have to agree that only the professional bb/fitness women will have a site with a believable measurements. If you are that curious, just make a guess and subtract about 2-4", you will probably be fairly close.
I guess I didn't get a survey, but I just looked ... there are 13,000+ images in the main gallery. If you can't find pics in there to your liking, you have a problem.

Let's hope these resource issues don't happen again... at least for a while.
BTW I'm hoping to have the site up shortly, within the next 10 days if everything goes well.
I was just going to suggest that, google ads
And i also agree with the Google AdSense idea :)
Let's make the site back!! XD
You could keep the site up from the income...

I hope to see it again, in the new hosting !
